Gingerbread Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

A creamy, chocolate filling layered in between two soft and light gingerbread cookies. These are perfect any time of the year, why save them just for the holidays?

So in all of my research, I realize that there are two schools of thought when it comes to gingerbread cookies. You either like them crispy or soft. There doesn’t seem to be any in between with these cookies? Or is it just me?

Me? I am soft gingerbread cookie lover. But with that being said, I wouldn’t turn down a crispy one. Let’s not get crazy!

Check out how soft these babies are…

I rolled half of the cookies in sugar but you can roll them all the way if you’d like. Or you can leave it off as well, they are sweet enough on their own. But the sugar does make them look even prettier!

Optional, gently sprinkle cookie dough with sugar or you can roll cookie dough balls into a bowl of sugar.

Bake about 10 minutes in preheated oven until golden brown.

Allow to cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

While cookies are cooling, mix ingredients for filling together in a small bowl.

Once cookies have cooled, spread about 1 tablespoon of filling in between 2 cookies.

Store in airtight container for 3-4 days (if they last that long!)

Lauren,
I’m firmly in the soft cookie camp, although my momma taught me never to refuse a homemade cookie so I wouldn’t turn away a crispy one. The box of crispy ones? Makes excellent crumb topping after a spin in the food processor.
I think the sandwich cookie idea is darling, and that sprinkle of sugar on top is very enticing.
Thanks!

Gorgeous pictures. I made these gingerbread chocolate sandwich cookies for the super bowl party and it was a crowd favorite. I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thanks for sharing, Lauren!
